Thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way. I’m blessed to be surrounded by a supportive network of family and friends. Stanford, I’m thankful for the opportunity I have had to represent this University and I can’t wait to see what God has in store for me. ?? pic.twitter.com/wqvFzITSmF— Reid Travis (@2ReidTravis2) May 30, 2018

Kentucky is the most likely landing spot for Travis, according to a report from ESPN. He has also drawn interest from defending national champion Villanova.
